The North Face Men's Chilkats

I live and work in Yosemite National Park. Our employee uniform shop routinely sells these Chillkat boots, and yes, from experience they do run 1-2 sizes smaller than normal! I wear a mens 7, I had to get a 9 to fit comfortably and snug on me. They are comfortable, at first, but here is one HUGE problem - they leak! See more below. . .

Steger Mukluks CamuksXtreme

Potentially superb boot for cold snow travel. Almost nonexistent customer service. Loved my Steger Arctic Mukluks until a stick tore open the moose hide. I considered it an unfortunate accident, not a product flaw. I bought another pair. This second pair were Steger CamuksXtreme Mukluks, an upgrade. The uppers developed little holes where laces crossed and chafed. This I considered a product flaw. On November 2, 2018 I contacted Steger through their website. They responded in two weeks. I followed… Full review

The North Face Women's Chilkats

Epic fail of rubber on toe box. Loved these boots for warmth, traction, support, and fit. Have always cleaned them up and put them away in the original box. They were almost in new condition but the toe box fell apart, luckily, just as I was returning from a hike in the snow. Very disappointed. It appears this has happened to quite a few people. I hope North Face corrects the problem. Full review

The North Face Men's Chilkats

Not durable! Pretty comfortable boots, but I wore them maybe twice a year for five years, and then last night the rubber portion broke away from the leather just like these other reviewers experienced. I'll order new boots from someone else next time. Full review

The North Face Women's Chilkats

Worn once and fell apart. My review reads the same as all of the others. These boots are defective and North Face will not stand behind their product. Not much more to add. Don’t waste your money. These boots are garbage. My pictures look like everyone else’s.  Full review

Oboz Bridger 7" Insulated BDry

Very comfortable, well-insulated, and water resistant. Wore these on several mountain hikes in Tromso, Norway, without any breaking-in period. No blisters. Fit: I have size 36.5 feet with large toes and narrow heels, which usually blister with any pair of new shoes. I bought these in size 37.5, shoe width B, and they fit my feet perfectly (with heavy woolen socks and a layer of thin socks). So maybe get a size or half bigger. Comfort: I wore these on several 300m-600m high/4km-10km long mountain… Full review

Oboz Bridger 10" Insulated Waterproof

This boot is comfortable, warm, lightweight for a serious snow boot, grips great, clip for gaiters, nothing bad to say except it runs small. I usually wear a 10, bought an 11 and wear with sock liner and heavy wool sock, fit is perfect. Have worn the Oboz Bridger BDry 10" boots on easy strolls in the woods, in deep snow up in the White Mtns barebooting and snowshoeing hikes in the Berkshires, rain, sleet, mud, stream crossings...pretty much everything.  Overall, Oboz really hit the mark for a HD… Full review

Steger Mukluks Terra

I stand outside collecting for charity the month of December, so I ordered Terras after reading about them. Have severe hammertoes and lost circulation and need a soft roomy shoe to accommodate my feet. This is my first year wearing the mukluks which are warm, roomy, easy to slip on/off. I love them period. Full review

Baffin Men's Impact

Made in China. They were advertised as original Canadian, but I just received mine and inside it says Made in China. Baffin should be more honest with their customers. Full review
